Mpg only 19 ???????

Hello every one . How many mpg should I expect from my td4 53 plate she's only doing on average 19-20 per gallon . How much do other people's do .

Hi

Is yours manual or auto. Our Auto TD4 HSE does around 30 mpg, more on a long run, about 28 around town. Are you sure that's all you're getting, how heavy is your right foot ! That's with EGR blanked & an Allisport full face intercooler & a Pipercross air filter fitted.

Sorry manual . Has a synergy chip on , on Eco I've a heavy right foot but our lass drives it more and she definitely hasn't . 220 miles to 50 quid think I worked it out right . Mixed driving

Hi

I'm getting approx 28mpg by my calculations which seems to be more like ours.

I got an app called 'Road trip' a few months ago & was shocked to discover I was only doing 22 mpg. I can be quite heavy footed & will often use the kick down. I drove the next tank very steady & was pleased to push it up to 26mpg, all based on town driving & short cold trips. I went on a 400+ trip & got 35mpg driving a very steady 60-70mph there. On the way back I got 28mpg driving 70+
No synergy fitted, EGR valve not blocked, TD4 auto

Hope that helps as a comparison

I have a 2004 Auto with egr by-pass and Pierburg MAF with Synergy2a+

City driving = 25mpg or worse.

A and B roads with Synergy set at Nr 8 and switch set to 'Power' gives around 36mpg.

Long motorway journeys with Synergy set at Nr 8 but with switch set to 'Eco' I can easily get 43mpg - even fully loaded and with a roof-box.

I've only used the kick-down once in over 8years - and that was an emergency situation.

Secret of high mpg is to keep the revs below 3K as much as possible.

I would be checking when the air-filter was last changed and that the egr was not jammed in the open position. Clean the egr and at the very least de-activate it.

26 and 28 mpg sound good to me think gonna have to go a bit steadier although not as much fun . Wish we'd got one earlier as love it ain't driven 4x4 since I stopped farming

If I was to get only 28mpg I would be devastated!

I go on long trips several times a year - 2500 miles in 4 days - I need economy at high speed.
I often do 3-4 hours non stop at a legal 85mph in mainland Europe.
Hoorah for the cruise-control - Mrs Singvogel calls it 'auto-pilot'.

God I'm thick worked it out again at 27 :-@

marked improvement

have you trashed/deleted the egr valve ? ..

What difference does blanking the egr ?

was good for a few more mpg in my case

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i.e. fitting a 'delete' unit .. as opposed to blocking-the-vacuum on the original ..

Seen the blanking plates on eBay . Do you just take out and blank off

what's 'blanked-off' .. be the exhaust gas feed .. and the vacuum hose from the solenoid that operates the egr valve ..

better to fit a bypass/delete unit .. as they do away with the valve-body ..
which .. improves airflow .. .. which at the end of the day .. improves mpg ..

someone else asked a question ..

Just been reading the thread above mine on egr , looks like a study night ahead :-(

Has a synergy chip

if egr deleted = better airflow ...
that means ..
the MAF sensor will enable more fuel delivery at lower rpm ..
which means ..
you'll get up-to-speed quicker .. and be able to use higher gears at lower road speeds ..
which gives better mpg

hi
hope u didnt mind me dropping into ur post

im only gettting around 22mpg around town

got a synergy box set on number 2,

i have managed to get some pre obd2 laptop software but need to load it first

Need to do a brim-to-brim for an accurate measurement.

Seems my tiny maths head worked out wrong getting slightly more , seriously looking at doing the egr mod but will have to wait as put a bar and spots on this last weekend just need re furbelows the copper pot

ha 19MPG ???

thats not right.

my old freelander TD4 got around 25MPG around town with the synergy on high

19 MPG ... My Range Rover does better
